Why cant BMW just do it simple, and in classic BMW style?

440i (gasoline)
440d (diesel)
440e (electric - todays "i4 / i440")
440ie (gasoline+electric)
440de (diesel+electric)
440h (hydrogen)

Simple and clean..
Probably because the i prefix is a new chapter for BMW. In 30 years, there won’t be any gasoline, diesel, or hydrogen options. They’ll all be electric.
